make error when building rom

RE: make error when building rom
From what I can see in src/drivers/net/tg3.c, line 3399, a very similar device seems to be supported. You can try to add a line for your specific PCI ID to that file and try to compile the bin/tg3.rom file.

If the tg3 driver doesn't work, you can try to do the same with the bnx2 driver.

In fact, showing the full output from lspci for this particular device in Linux should show you whether it is using the tg3 or bnx2 driver. iPXE uses the same name of drivers as Linux. Once you've added your PCI ID to the appropriate file you can try it out from a CD or USB stick. I would suggest waiting burning it into firmware until you know it works reasonably fast.

If no native driver exist for your card (that actually works) you can use the undionly.kpxe target together with chainloading. See the chainloading article on the main website for details on how.

If you have C skills you can try to look more closely at the init phase in the Linux kernel and see if you can adapt the correct driver in ipxe to initialize the card correctly.
